Real switches that can be operated with gloves in winter my first request…and second, too. Plain interior surfaces that are easy to clean without tools.
Never die vinyl interior materials for work trucks/SUVs.
Wing vent windows
And real cable operated floor vents
Yes – have 12 cars with them. They are great.
My thoughts exactly: vent windows. And how about some decent color choices for both exterior and interiors. Modern cars can be so boring to look at when they’re all painted some variety of gray or silver.
Second that!
Nothing !
Mounted machine gun to be able to take out tailgaters, like on WW II vehicles.
Double ditto and amen to that.
spot lights
Wind wings.
GOOD LOOKS I really miss the good looks of the cars of the fifties, like the MG A, Austin Healey 100, 57 Corvette, 57 Olds, MB 190 & 300 SL’s, etc., etc. and on and on.
Cornering lamps
Floor mounted dimer switch.
How about hardtops? Loved the 60-80 big Americans with the hardtops. A close runner up, the Subarus of a few years ago. Please and thank you
Floor dimmer and starter
The exterior design, today almost all the cars look the same, the good looks of the old cars. The technology today is perfect.
Cheaper gas prices. Cars with style and chrome REAL chrome not plastic. Good looking cars and trucks that don’t look alike.
Cat eye duel headlights. Coolest look of the 50 t s
A bit of styling. Too many autos look like a egg with wheels or a plain wooden door stop.
That says it all! Tasteless appliances.
Turn signals that are operational!
Oh, do they work? Must be the idiots who chose not to make the effort to use them. It’s so difficult.
OH, THAT’s what that up and down motion on that lever is for!
Dimmer switch on the floor.
Side vents
Swivel drivers seat!
The little vent windows right behind the “A” pillar on a pickup truck! Easy to regulate airflow, or for smokers, to flick out their ashes without having to open the entire side window.
Honest civility
Computerless cars. After 5 years my phone is smarter than my car. I never use my Mercedes Nav system – Google maps is way better.
Winged vent windows as man do I miss them !
Ash Trays.
There is nowhere to put spare change anymore.
Woodies
1) Compound Low (Granny) Gear for pickup trucks.
2) Wing windows.
3) Floor-mounted dimmer switch.
4) Hurst Dual-Gate shifter.
Had 2 old fords at the wood mill I worked at (this was only 7 years ago). One had a granny low, one didn’t. Always got them mixed up.
wing windows
Vent windows/ wing windows and CD players incorporated in radios instead of satellite radio!
Even more low tech, I prefer just an FM radio (since AM stations are mostly gone).
